Nokia 610 car kit launched
Nokia 610 car kit phone simplifies automotive communications
28 October 2003
 Nokia
has introduced an innovative car kit phone that simplifies in-car
communication. Using wireless Bluetooth technology, the Nokia
610 car kit phone makes it possible to conveniently and seamlessly
switch from a compatible mobile phone to the in-car environment
- without the need to exchange SIM cards. Additional benefits
of the GSM 900/1800 Nokia 610 car kit phone include an external
GSM antenna connection, excellent hands-free audio quality, driver-optimized
operability with separate display and input device. Shipping of
the Nokia 610 car kit phone is scheduled to begin in Europe, Africa
and selected Asia Pacific markets in the first quarter of 2004.
The Nokia 610 is the first Nokia car kit phone to
offer a new technology called Bluetooth SIM Access Profile (SAP).
With the Bluetooth SAP profile, the car kit phone is able to access
the SIM card in the user's compatible mobile phone and automatically
log into the GSM network. As soon as the user exits the car or
presses a specific key on the mobile phone, the Nokia 610 car
kit phone switches off and automatically re-logs the mobile phone
into the network.
"The new Nokia 610 car kit phone makes car
communication simpler and more convenient," says Uwe Pertz,
Head of Product Marketing, Nokia Smart Traffic Products, Nokia
Mobile Phones. "By eliminating the need for a separate SIM
card and by enabling seamless access to a user's contact information,
the Nokia 610 car kit phone combines benefits of a fixed car phone
with the freedom of a mobile phone."
Employing a comfortable, intuitive operating concept,
users can access up to 500 phonebook entries with up to five numbers
per contact, which can easily be downloaded to the Nokia 610 car
kit phone via Bluetooth technology. Voice recognition enables
voice dialling of up to twelve numbers, and three voice commands
for menu functions.
If the car is used by two different users, the Nokia
610 car kit phone enables each of them to save and access his/her
own phonebook entries, including voice tags and commands, and
personal settings. Using the Navi(TM) wheel and four function
keys, the Nokia 610 car kit phone's entire range of functions
can be accessed conveniently. On the separate display, which can
be flexibly positioned on the dashboard, text can be read at a
glance. Incoming messages can be answered especially quickly with
the Nokia 610 car kit phone. With just one touch of a button the
user can call the sender back or send a reply in the form of a
predefined short message.
Naturally, the Nokia 610 car kit phone also provides
excellent voice quality in handsfree operation. For private calls,
a single touch of a button on the input device during the call
activates a compatible wireless headset using Bluetooth technology.
The Nokia 610 car kit phone is compatible with the Nokia
6230, Nokia 6810 and Nokia 6820 mobile phones, which were
also launched today.
